R 129-soft top replacing-carhoods direct

[PanMichael]

Hello All

I'm new to this forum and this is my first post

So...I'm going to change the soft top on my r 129.
I found the hood for the car for 355 GBP exc Vat
The price with VAT is £462

Mercedes - SL MODELS 129 (1989-01) - Mercedes 129 SL (1989-2001) Hood & Window Black Mohair - Carhoods Direct - suppliers of soft-tops, cabriolet roofs and convertible tops.

That's seems to be very good price
I'm just thinking if the quality is gonna be the same.

Did anyone ever used carhoodsdirect?

Thanks for help

Hi & welcome

Does the whole hood need replacing? Usually it's just the windows that go, and they can be done separately.

have you found out how much the fitting is going to be?

Hi
Yes,whole hood needs replacing as it's in terrible condition (few holes etc)
I spoke to few trimmers around and can have it fitted for about 250-300 which sounds not bad
